Oh oh Abe, Lakers in a tight one in the 4th against Memphis!

The Eastern Conference is freakin' useless! Why does it exist? Just eliminate every team and make the West the de facto NBA. Denver goes and wins at Philly and Boston in back to back nights without Jokic. These teams are useless!

Unreal

Jazz taking OKC to overtime, had a good chance at winning it down the stretch. OKC may end up pulling this out, but...ouch. Losing at home to Charlotte and then having Utah take them to OT?? Do they miss Hartenstein THAT much??

Shae's getting to the line tonight (24 FTA so far), but they continue to be dreadful beyond the arc...7 for 37 tonight!

Lakers and Rockets fall. Wolves need to take advantage next game.

Denver keeps dodging bullets. But both the Lakers and Rockets lost. Inching up the standings. Just gotta keep winning and let those teams fall down to us.

Jinx!

Most of the teams near the Wolves in the standings are in action tonight, but I am not expecting many of them to lose tonight. One exception is the OKC, who is down 19 at the half to the Griz. I see that both Shai and Chet are out for the game, so that would put a damper on their chances.

Welp, the Griz let go of the rope and lost in the last minute. But the Hawks did us a favor and beat the Nuggets (Jamal Murray was out). Wolves are now tied with the Nuggets record-wise.
